This is an automatically translated description

The real story of a young man who for 15 years carefully concealed the fact that he could see only 2%. In this book, the author tells how and why he did it. At the age of 15, Zalia Kagawatte, whose family is from Sri Lanka, has been gradually losing his sight for some time. Doctors say that one day he will be completely blind.

He is advised to leave his regular school and go to a specialised school for visually impaired children. However, he dreams of finishing his studies, going to university and having a full independent life. For 15 years, he hid his physical disability to be able to build a career in the world of sighted people. Tactile sensations, hearing and intuition have replaced his sight. He works harder than others, learning the necessary information by heart with the help of voice technology. However, he pays a high price for his journey: self-denial, inner loneliness, and addictions. It was only after realising that one cannot always live in a constant struggle with oneself that he really came to terms with it and began to enjoy life. Determined and full of faith and hope, Zalia Kagawatte tells us about his life journey.
